If entering to win into a contest that may maybe get you exposure on mountain dew's 15k subscriber channel is what you call "getting a channel off the ground" you've already lost. It's a terrible deal. If you feature brands on your channel get paid for it, or stop doing it. Doing it for a chance to win exposure on a 15k sub channel, none of whom are there to watch you because thats not why they subbed to it, is selling out for nothing. Less than nothing. A chance at nothing, with nothing guaranteed.
- c0pium 3y agoYou’re thinking about this backwards. These are streamers with nothing to offer trying to hit the virality lottery. 15k viewers is more than enough for that spark to catch. Also, if you sub to a brand channel finding small streamers is a big part of why. Would it be good to get paid for it? Sure. Can streamers with no audience demand payment? Of course not. Also, selling out isn’t a thing. It doesn’t exist. All streamers work with brands as that’s the core of the job. You’re arguing that streamers should throw away a free-to-them opportunity for your lofty ideals of How Things Should Be.
- LegitShady 3y ago15k is the total subs to mtn dew's channel, not viewers. And the promoted channel gets a small amount of promotion in exchange for a long time of product placement. Selling out is a thing. You put the value on your own product. If a week of advertising for them is valued at $0 and 15 minutes of promotion on a low view count channel, you've sold out for basically nothing. Streamers should not do things that immediately devalue their channel such that their promotion is worth $0. Literally giving away the value for a chance to win promotion. Its not a lofty ideal its setting your own value above $0.
